Abstract

Visual reality (VR) health-monitoring by flexible electronics provides a new avenue to remote and wearable medicine. The combination of flexible electronics and VR could facilitate smart remote disease diagnosis by real-time monitoring of the physiological signals and remote interaction between patient and physician. The flexible healthcare sensor is the most crucial unit in the flexible and wearable health-monitoring system, which has attracted much attention in recent years. This paper briefly reviews the progress in flexible healthcare sensors and VR healthcare devices. The flexible healthcare sensor is introduced with basic flexible materials, manufacturing techniques, and their applications in healthmonitoring (such as blood/sweat detection and heart-rate tracking). VR healthcare devices for telemedicine diagnosis are discussed, and the smart remote diagnosis system using flexible and wearable healthcare sensors, and a VR device, is addressed.
